Section 3 Safety

S7A S8A Manual

www.rottlermfg.com

3-3

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every piece of shop

environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to

your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to

follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

Electrical Power

All electrical power should be removed from the machine before opening the rear electrical enclosure.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least

resistance to disperse electric current.

Electrocution or a fire can result if the machine is not grounded correctly. Make sure the ground is

connected in accordance with this manual. DO NOT operate the machine if it is not grounded.
